We’ve all had some experience of struggles with mental health. Maybe you’ve stood by a loved one in a time of need. Maybe you’ve been through tough moments yourself.
Too often, illness is only half the challenge, with people forced to wait too long and fight too hard to get the help they need.
Today, we’re announcing a major expansion of NHS mental health services so people can get help earlier and closer to home.

Today I am pleased to announce there will be a new right to neonatal care leave which will be available from April. This will support new parents who have to face having a newborn in hospital with a right to leave from work whilst their baby is in neonatal care.
Congratulations to Eluned Morgan, Welsh Labour’s newly elected leader.
Eluned brings a wealth of experience and track-record of delivery — as the first woman to lead Welsh Labour, she is already making history.
I look forward to working with Eluned to deliver change for Wales.
Everyone remembers the teachers who made a difference.
For me that was Ms Haq, whose drive to see us all succeed changed so many lives at my school.
Labour will deliver 6500 extra new qualified teachers to make that difference, paid for by ending private school tax breaks.
Labour will take tough action to protect children’s health 👇
